Solar Energy Bill Falls Short in Balancing Needs, Costs

About 68 percent of voters said that lowering the cost of energy – solar or not – was a top priority. When told that rooftop panels cost more than twice as much as large solar power facilities to produce electricity – remember, small solar power generators do not bear the same fixed costs to maintain and power the grid as non-solar power generators do – 58 percent said large solar power facilities would be the best way to increase solar.
